hmm what to rant on.

... i think this time i will target something i think is important. This time it's less of a rant and more of an observation.If anyone thinks that my views are biased or perhaps dumb, i would appreciate it if that person would step forward and tell me more so that i may correct it.

oh one more huge detail. chances are i will be THRODDING on toes. not stepping on them but grounding them into the ground. you have been forewarned.


This time it's a topic dear to my heart. Malaysia itself. it's painful to hear about the sad state of affairs that the non-Malays(and i am one by the way and no i'm not a sellout. i'm not getting paid to do this.) still feel that the state of affairs in Malaysia is heavily in favor of the Malays. It is in my opinion, a false statement. The advantages given to Malays are in fact necessary to their survival in my opinion.TOE THRODDING NO:1. It is necessary to their survival because the larger businesses which can support more people are mainly non-Malay led. So the Malays need an edge in order to survive. Even then, i feel that the advantage they are given is fair and that it could be much more biased.

On a similar scale, those who are leaving the country are pretty much asking for the same treatment.On a personal level at least. For instance, between giving out charity to a Malaysian(presuming you're Malaysian) compared to say... Thai people. i'd say more than 2/3rds of the people would say it's better to give it to your own people. so if we follow this line of thought then perhaps it's close minded but between choosing a job for a local and non local,(assuming a normal rank job(say a clerk/bookkeeper) not a technical one like proggramming/accounting/lawyer) it would be safe to assume that the local person would be chosen.

One more thing i would like to say is that do the costs truely offset? If one were to move to KL from Klang in order to find a better job and find one that pays perhaps 3000 more.Make sure to compare the living costs as well! afterall, food in klang is cheap and rent? FAR less than in KL.It would be pointless to get a job paying 3000 more only to spend 4000 more. Taking this example to a larger scale, moving overseas is a similar venture. the only problem is you're comparing currencies and price of goods as well.For instance, i would have to say i find Australian Cars pretty cheap by comparison to Malaysian cars. Though gas prices by comparison are a heart attack waiting to happen.

The last thing i would like to point out is to those who would like to do business. in terms of playing field. Business relationships overseas work out to you're helpful as long as you're cost effective. a little bit mean perhaps but you have to understand that as multinational businesses, any minor increase in cost is an endeavor that can cost quite a lot.(For instance, buying in huge quantities of say 1 million units of screws. @ $.10 and $.11 respectively, $100000 and $110000. the increase is obviously not justified.) in this sense, moving to a more competitive playing field is a dangerous thing. Especially since in Malaysia, the competition between companies as far as i can see is relatively light.

End rant for now. i need to think a little. don't feel like simply spitting out nonsense if i can help it.
